The Ithaca MAP3S Regional Precipitation Chemistry Site has been in continuous operation since September 1976. Event sampling was upgraded to daily sampling in March of 1989. Recent research by MAP3S personnel includes an investigation of the relationship between declining emissions of SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x}, and their impact on precipitation chemistry. Recent research, relating the effects of changing SO{sub 2} and NO{sub x} emissions on precipitation chemistry addresses the DOE program objective of understanding the consequences of energy use and development. 46 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
